Meanwhile, Back in Iraq

Posted By Darrell Fichtl

It's a absolute total mystery why we're staying there at all, except for the fact that your taxes are being poured into the war machine; (Halliburton,Raytheon and others). It certainly can't be for the fact that Iraq is a future treat to us in any way.

Frankly I don't give one tinkers twit if, when we pull out, that Iraq goes into a total state of anarchy.

You really can't convince me that husB and the Bushettes are concerned in the least way about the welfare of anybody in Iraq. If it's not out of compassion for the Iraq people than the only other bottom line is the money. Plain and simple GREED for the bucks being spent into big business in the good old US of A.

Ever consider what 4.8 billion would do for cancer research or the space program, or elevating our schools, or cleaning out the slums, or providing healthcare, or increasing social security, or giving us back a surplus, or retiring some of our debt, or investing in renewable energy, and on and on.

Isn't it all so stupid, sad and ridiculous.

Wipeout on Wall Street

Posted By Darrell Fichtl

Rod:

What you fail to understand is hsuB doesn't care and neither do any of the Bushettes.

He's got a free hand to do what ever he damn well pleases and you can bet your last buck that it won't be in your or my best interest.

I think he feels he has a mandate to make the rich man richer and the poor man broke and he has three and a half years more to take the country further down the drain.

Hold onto your wallet as best you can.

Man Spits on Jane Fonda in Protest

I can't say I approve of what he did. I just don't blame him for doing it.

In many cases it's like Harry's decision to drop the bomb. If you weren't there at the time, you might have vastly different opinions from those that were.

When I saw those pictures of her behind the AA gun, considering being born with a good old USA golden spoon in her mouth, I almost pucked.

The fact that she got off scot-free is a miscarriage of justice. TRAITOR,TRAITOR,TRAITOR our guys were out there dying while she had a photo-op.

King Abdullah Comes To Town

Posted By Darrell Fichtl

That kind of reminds me of the commercial about five years ago where the pizza delivery man got a new fuel efficient wagon for delivery.

The background announcer said that ought to make his pizza's cheaper. His response was, "No it won't."

No different here. Price could come down $25 a barrel and the pump MIGHT come down 5 cents.

Why is God so angry?

Just a quick poll.

I didn't "get" anything. I built my own 6" Newtonian. It appeared in the February 1962 issue of Sky & Telescope. It was in there primarily for the two pier mount I made from a 1932 Ford rear axle. Fortunately I was able to procure a issue on the Astromart bulletin board.

Why is God so angry?

I was watching Dateline tonight and according to a couple of Evangelical Christian book (End of the World) authors we're all going to Hell unless we're Evangelical Christians.

That goes for Jews, Muslims, Hindus, all Asians, Catholics plus a few others that they forgot.

It totally astonishes me how two apparently intelligent people can have there heads stuck so far up an inappropriate orifice.

Ron, I'm really impressed, and that's not tongue in cheek either.
